Infoblox NIOS 5.1r3 released
Infoblox NIOS 5.1r3 has been released today
New features are:
- Authenticated DHCP
- Option 82 Fixed address support
- Intermidate Certificates
- Enhanced MIB
- GUI enhancements
- API enhancements
- bloxTools enhancements
The most exciting new feature is definitely the “Authenticated DHCP”- feature.
Authenticated DHCP
You can now force user to register, using a captive web portal, before they receive a DHCP lease. The portal can be configured to use:
- RADIUS
- Active Directory
- Gust access
- Or a combination of the above
You can also have multiple captive portals for redundancy, and configure them with custom graphics, acceptable use policies, and addition guest registration fields.
I would recommend waiting for version 5.1.r3-1 before upgrading in order to avoid any bugs. Current version is 5.1.r3-0.
The entire release notes can be downloaded from the Infoblox Support portal.
